AH, summer! (part 1)

It is really starting to feel like summer around here! And I am not just talking about the heat...

Tee-ball kicked off on Saturday. Wow, can I tell a difference between Moses' first year and this year! He seems to understand the game a little bit better (and hey Grampy- did you notice he isn't quite the "cross-country runner" this year?!)

He seems to understand that you field the ball and don't just throw it randomly:


Check out this stance (and the game face)! He connected with the ball on his first at-bat, for a "home run"!


Crossing the plate:


Later after a thunderstorm, we planted some new flowers to replace some of Moses' that had died:


And- WONDER OF ALL WONDERS- Moses picked up a LIVE BEETLE. I cannot communicate how HUGE this is. A boy with sensory perception disorder exploring nature in all its fullness. SO COMPLETELY AWESOME. Moses' reaction: "His legs tickle!" :)


ZuZu, of course, has to do everything her brother does:


And if that wasn't enough, Moses and ZuZu decided to stick their heads/faces in water puddles after the storm:


ZuZu had a blast running the sidewalk singing a song from "Tangled." Her version: "running... racing... running.. racing... chasing... running... running..."


Then Moses picked up a centipede-caterpillar-thingy!


He then put it in his sister's hair. Is it strange that I am proud of that, too?
